WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.—Secretary Hay sent instructions to Consul Hay at Preto- ria to-day directing him to investigate and report as soon as possible the allegations of former Consul Charles T. Macrum that the British censor at Durban opened his official mail. It is said at the State De- partment that the officlal records of the consulate should show whether the mall of the Consul had been opened. As has | been stated, Mr. Macrum'’s reports contain | no reference to such an occurrence, and !if the consular files are likewise silent the officials say the only conclusion that can be arrived at is that Mr. Macrum's charge is without foundation, or he has taken from the flles envelapes opened by the censor and marked, as he alleges. Re- specting the latter contingency, the of- ficials declare a Consul has no right to re- | move anything of an official oharacter be- | longing to the Government files. Certain- {1y the envelopes have not reached the | State Department. | Should Consul Hay report that the en- | velopes were cpened, as alleged by Mr. | Macrum, the department will act to pre- vent a repetition of the occurrence. It is \('onsldored remarkable by the officials that | the mail of an American Consul who is representing British interests should have | been opened when mail.of other Consals, | whose governments are notoriously sym- pathetically inclined toward the Boers, Is allowed to pass unopened. The fact that Mr. Macrum's sympathies are with the Boers is no surprise to the officials, for his reports have shown' the trend of his sympathy. It is not an uncommon tact, | a department official sald to-day, for Con- suls in countries at war to write reports | strongly sympathizing with the govern- | ments to which they are accredited, an. {1t 1s left to the authorities here to deter- | mine the course to pursue, usually 1 in | the case of the British-Boer war, that of ‘slr!ct neutrality - WHAT THE SENTIMENT | OF AMERICANS MAY DO | LONDON, Feb. 17.—H. W. Massingham, | formerly the editor of the Chronicle, | writes as follows to the Morning Leader, | under the heading, “What Will America | Do?": . | A pew world power has arisen—the great American people. President McKinley and Secretary of State Hay share, 1 belleve, the opinion of the minor- ity of Englishmen that the war in South Africa is an error and a crime. But they remember that, thanks to the pressure from below, | the 'English Government was benevolently neutral in the Spanish war. Therefore, as ‘far as public opinfon will allow them, they would like to sall on an even keel in South Africa. But, as they well know, be- hind them lles' a mighty and, as they well know, an ungovernable force, expressing itselt with absolute freedom, forcing its will on party managers, knocking !mperatively at the doors of the President. Because a few American ladies who had mar- ried or fought their way into English society started @ hospital ship it was Imagined that ‘American sympathies were with British power. Nothing can be more unfortunate than any po- litical -action that comes from such quarters and is blessed by such negligible persons as Smalley, & New York correspondent. America 18 not pro-English and never will be in the sense that our sentimental imperialists destre. & America is profoundly attached to the repub- licen principle. She Will not see it weakened te the profit of her anclent mistress. The great popular newspapers like the World have been quick to read this sign of the Ameri- can temper. Hostile intervention on the part of America would mot be tolerated, but what if, using the ‘machinery of The Hague conference or acting on a hint from private sources,- America were to prepose a policy of mutual disarmament?

BRITISH RETIREMENT WAS IN GOOD ORDER ARUNDEL, Feb. 16.—The retirement of the British from Rensburg was most o- derly. The railway had withdrawn the stores on the previous day and the bag- gage wagons left before the evacuation took place. . A part of the two companies of the Wilt- shire regiment which were missing, and the members of which were presumably asleep after having been on outpost duty, have since arrived. of the companies taken prisoners.

She is in this country for the purpose of ralsing funds | for an Irish-American hospital for sol- | diers in South Africa.

Miss Palmer is of the opinion that Irish ‘lanmgnmsm to England is based on mis- | conception of facts.

MILITARY ATTACHES REPORTED MISSING | LONDON, Feb. 18—Lloyd's Weekly (London newspaper) this morning pub- lishes a dispatch from Modder River, un- | der date of Friday evening, February 1, | saying that the American and Austrian attaches are reported to be missing. An- other dispatch, dated Jacobsdal the same day, states that Captain Slocum and the Austrian attache are at that place. e ATTACKING VAAL KRANTZ. LONDON, Feb. 17.—A dispatch to the | Evening News from Lourenzo Marquez dated to-day says from Boer sources it is reported that the British are attack- ing the Boer position at Vaal Krantz and that the Boers are still holding the po- sition. This report is probably fdentical with the bombardment of Blauwkratz announced yesterday. st USRI SYMPATHY OF TEACHERS.

His strength, patriotism and | diplomacy have often been severely tested | | and found not wanting. hence the idea | that his continued refusal to take the na- | | tion into his confidence at this crisis As‘ | | prompted by motives of the highest im- portance. The conduct of the Foreign Office, | where there is not the slightest inclina- { tlon to underestimate 'the "difficulties or | overestimate the national capabilities, certainly bears out this solution of the | enigma that puzzies the Conservatives as | much as it provides capital for the Lib | erals. | "A ‘reasonable supposition was sug- gested by a well-known Peer, who said | ““It is more than likely rhat Lord Salis- | bury, though seeing no immediate likeli- | hood' of foreign complications, wishes to prepare for the contingency and be able to meet it with a free hand, unfettered by any recent utterances confessing weal- | ness or exposing strength.” In support of this it is interesting to observe that at the moment Lord Rose- | bery was demanding naval mobllization | the admiralty was engaged in instituting | the preliminaries for that very move by | | ascertaining at all the naval ports the | { number of ships that could be immediate- | ly commissioned and issuing orders for ;t{ree battleships and three cruisers, all | of the reserve, to cea! at once in order in case to be ready for commissioning | they were required.

It is a strange anomaly to find Great Britain, the home of the emigrant, threatened by the immigrant, vet such is the case. Industrial activity and the increast in wares in the United Kingdom | have attracted hordes of continental la- bor. Last month alone about 4000 immi- grants arrived, a large increase on the average, The Globe plaintively remarks: “When the present wave of industrial prosperity is succeeded by a wave of ad- versity we shall have on our hands a mui- titude of foreigners, eagerly competing for the bread which ought by right to nourish the native born. We have no legislative machinery for sifting out pauper aliens and returping them to their own cou tries, as they have in the United States.
